Usage

<mux-active-viewer-count> has two attributes. The first is called token, and it should be a signed JavaScript Web Token (JWT) for which you want the viewer count. (For more information on creating a JWT for a particular video, see https://docs.mux.com/guides/data/see-how-many-people-are-watching.

The second attribute is called poll-interval. It specifies the number of seconds that the component should wait between requests to get the viewer count. It defaults to 20 seconds, and should be no lower than 15 seconds.
